Amaroo solar farm

The proposal includes a no larger than 5MW grid-connected solar PV installation. The solar farm will be
connected to the existing Moree 66/22kV Zone Substation at 75 Tycannah Street, Moree which is approximately
2.53km east of the proposed development site.
The proposed development aims to erect an estimated 13,524 solar PV panels with a nameplate rating of 540W.
Other electrical generation infrastructure is proposed on the site including a Power Conversion Station (PCS)
consisting of inverters, transformer switchgear and auxiliary plant. Due to the capacity of the inverter system,
the proposed development will produce less than 5MW. Most of the infrastructure would be prefabricated off-
site, delivered and assembled on-site.
The PV arrangement will consist of 161 ground mounted single axis trackers, refer to Figure 3. The solar PV
panels measuring approximately 2.3m by 1.1m with 600mm clearance above the existing ground surface. The
panels will be positioned on single axis-trackers oriented north-south with a spacing of 6.4m. The PV mounting
structure will comprise steel posts driven to approximately 1.5m below ground using a small pile driver.
Additional support structures will be attached to the piles, which would then support the PV panels.
